A package is left with the registrar via courier. Within the package a note and an instructor's insignia are present. While the package is clearly intended for the Grandmaster, it is without note on the sealed package, so anyone before the ultimate person it is intended for may peek in.
"Dear Grandmaster;
It is with this letter I announce my leave and retirement from the Three Steps Academy.
I will not disclose the exact reasoning why, but I wish to spend more time with my kin and continue to develop my studies at my own pace.
I will endeavour to donate any studies I perform and document to the academy so others may learn.
My daughter and wife both currently wish to stay and study the Dance and Shadow Magic respectively, it is just myself who is leaving.
Take care.
-Rico."
